And Armorstorm.....Joysticks are way better than keyboard and mouse...I have been gaming for roughly 40 years lol.

Joysticks are better in situational sections, such as simulator games involving flight, maybe mech-games if you want that "Real mech feel", and flying games in general ,but most other games a joystick is either at best incompatible, at worst completely inept at the situation. You wouldn't play an RTS with a joystick, and this game is served much better on M&K

I don't think you all understand...I could care less about your personal opinions on the topic...I was asking for the factual information about why Wargaming did not make it so.

I answered that in that earlier, the likely hood of any significant portion of the player base wanting to use flight controls for tanks is so small that it's not worth the time to support or implement.

Just like, my G27 racing wheel. It's not supported either because it's not likely to be the controller choice for any significant portion of the playerbase.

It's the same reason tanks doesn't officially support linux, there's too few who's use tanks in Linux to offer support for it.

Because it would be an overt and obvious handicap to anyone trying to PLAY with a joystick for a game built from the ground up with the intent of being played on a M&K, and as such they never bothered to include support for it? why waste the resources and time to add support for something a very minor portion of the population might use, and said population would be significantly hampering their own ability?

And its not that they don't know HOW to add support, as WoWP supports most flightsticks/joysticks.

Yeah, my first game was PONG so there is that. Like in any endeavor, use the right tool for the job, if joysticks were better for FPS gaming you would see them played occasionally. Would you play a flight sim with a trackpad? Hey, if you want to play joystick I believe there are utilities you can use, if you want to be handicapped in the game.

The game was aimed, at least initially, at people who had the least amount of equipment. Keyboard and mouse was almost certainly the only input controls that they had. The game lends itself to that setup, too. You can steer with the keyboard and aim with the mouse. It'd be hard to do that with a joystick, joysticks usually don't do two things at once as far as directions go. To be honest, you'd need a steering wheel and pedals (and a gearstick) as well as a joystick to do the same job as the keyboard and mouse, and it still wouldn't be as flexible. Not to mention expensive and thus out of the reach of many of the people who would like to play the game.
